A hero is someone that saves a person even in the slightest of ways.
Soldiers they save us from a lot of things like death.
Doctors they save us from dying or infections.
People they save others from getting ran over by a car or lift heavy things off of us that could potentially kill us.

A hero is someone that people looks up to and a person that is a leader. Hero’s would be cops because they put there life on the line for others. Another one would be firefighters, they kind of do the same thing as far as putting their lives on the line. Coach penned would be one too because of the leadership he has and the advice he gives.

A hero is someone who does something great but doesn’t need credit of fame. Firefighters are hero’s because they save property and lives but it is just a regular everyday thing and they aren’t looking for fame for it. Coach Penney is a hero because he comes to practice everyday and deals with us and doesn’t complain about it. Cops are hero’s because they deal with someone else’s problems all day and save lives and keep the peace with no recognition for it.

A hero is someone who puts others lives before their own in order to keep everyone safe. An example of a real life hero would be cops, cops are always at risk but the keep on doing their jobs to keep us safe. Soldiers are another example of hero’s, they leave home and their family for months or maybe even years at a time just to keep our country safe. Lastly firefighters, firefighters will run into burning buildings not knowing if they’ll make it out or not just to save someone else.

I think a hero is someone who dose a good deed and dose not expect something for it. It may be the mot common answer but I think firefighters, police officers and EMT personnel are hero. Even though they are getting payed to do this, they don’t expect any other compensation from the people they are helping.

A hero is someone you admire for the things they have done in there life and someone you want to be alike. A hero is a person who has done something to changed or help something in a good way.

A hero is a person who saves others or someone you see is outstanding. An example of a hero is Drew Brees because he’s not very tall and is a excellent football player.

A hero is someone who acts as a role model to someone else. This is because people’s hero’s vary on who they are. Some heroes in the real world are people in the military, because they risk their life’s to keep us civilians safe.

A hero is someone who sticks up for others in small ways or saves lives, A hero doesn’t have to be anyone special just a normal person doing courageous things. Three of my heroes of mine are my grandpa who stepped in when my dad wasn’t around, my old football coach who pushed me to be a better person on and off the field, and lastly my mom who was there to make sure I turned into a gentlemen.

A hero is someone or something who goes out of their own way to save someone or something. A firefighter is a hero because they fight blazes not knowing if they’ll come back out. Police officers are another because they have to perform their duties facing hate and criticism. EMTs have to try and keep people alive on the scene of accidents.

A hero is someone who is admired for their courage, and achievements. Teachers show how children can chase their dreams. Another is a doctor since they save lives everyday and go out of their way to save them. Lastly people, everyday people do heroic things everyday for complete strangers and without doing it with recognitions.

A hero is a person who is admired for there achievements and qualities. My defenition of a hero is someone who is willing to help someone even when they cant help themselves. Here are three people that are hero’s Charlize Theron, Bill Gates and Melinda Gates. Charlize is helping people in Africa and Bill and Melianda Gates are helping to improve people’s lives and health.

A hero is someone you look up to. Donald Trump is my hero because he is a man of his world. Tom Brady is because he is still the Goat at like 40 years old. Ricky Chowder because he can ride rank beef cows.

A hero is someone who is willing to give up everything to save another. An example of this is a soldier, whether or not you like them they protect us and our country from other countries. Most soldiers tend to suffer physical and mental damage that they end up having for the rest of their lives. Another is the firefighters, who run into buildings to save others who may be trapped inside and put out the raging flames of homes of people and animals. Lastly, there’s police men who try to uphold the law. They face criminals, some on drugs and others with weapons, and help provide aid to those in a car wreck with firemen. Policemen also help find people with the search and rescue teams, to reunite missing family members.

All three of these groups of people are truly the real superheros. They might not look it, but they definitely live. Leaving behind their families and loved ones to help save someone else’s life or loved ones. All three of these lines of work have life long trauma with them, such as ptsd, cancer, and any physical damage.

A hero is someone you look up to and think of them as a role model or a leader. Three heroes are Danny DeVito, Guy Fieri, and Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves is a great hero because of what he has been through and what he does for everyone else.
